Of fully 40 different demographic subgroups measured, the only one in which more people think businesses should have that right than shouldn’t is Republicans. And even among Republicans, it’s only a plurality who say so. There were no clear majorities for the right to refuse service on religious grounds among any group tested.

“The poll found solid opposition to allowing businesses to refuse services or refuse to hire people or groups based on religious beliefs.”

Two totally different subjects.

[Jim Noble]

Fifty-four percent said it was wrong for businesses to refuse services, while 28 percent said they should have that right. And 55 percent said businesses should not have the right to refuse to hire certain people or groups based on the employer’s religious beliefs, while 27 percent said businesses should have the right

Fortunately, people don't get to vote on the Constitution.

[Boogieman]

The majority doesn’t get to define rights.

[EagleUSA]

Would you bet your life on it ???

[HLPhat]

Isn’t that what the Tyranny of the Majority always does?

Same Ol’

[iowacornman]

The great news is that it doesn’t matter what the sheeple Blaaah. The SCOTUS says we do and I have strong religious beliefs and you can’t stop me!!

[cripplecreek]

Manufactured consensus.

You don’t want to be the odd man out do you?

So Allahidiot loves polls that peddle his DC left wing agenda.

I noticed Allahidiot ignored the poll which showed American hate amnesty by overwhelming margin.

The K street trolls that now own Hotgas and Allah don't like those types of poll results.

Thanks Michelle for not firing that troll Allahidiot you sold !

There are so many places to find work if you want to find it.

I’ll admit it’s harder these days, but you can’t tell me that these people can’t find work somewhere religious objections aren’t present.

This is all about forcing others to accommodate them, and them never having to accommodate anyone else.

“The poll found solid opposition to allowing businesses to refuse services or refuse to hire people or groups based on religious beliefs.”

Absolutely two totally different issues. One is bigotry and racism because it limits economic opportunities based on certain factors.

The other is about discretion that only hurts the service provider. The media refuses to cover the element of racism that deals with economic harm because they are the biggest purveyor of racist hiring policies.

Instead the media makes a big deal out of simple words, and those that decide not to sell their products or services for whatever reason.

Refusing service is one thing.

Being forced to participate in a private event is another.

[4rcane]

this must mean majority is islamophobic.

What the poll found out is the answer to this question:

What % of those polled are unable to follow the logic below and are likely to be products of the US public education system?

Assume B is True if A is True.
Assume A is True.
Is B True?

[4rcane]

a better poll question should be
Should an individual be forced to buy good/service from a business even if they disagree with it

[Tzimisce]

The Constitution says they can.

[TWhiteBear]

bogus poll
All it reflects is the lack of integrity in the Reuters poll.

> Refusing service is one thing.

Bingo. The left loves to used twisted logic, lies, and deeption to make the weakminded believe they are in the right. Re-frame the question and you can get the desired response every time.

I can’t stand allah-@sshole. I hardly go to hotair any more.
